The cover art for Catie Murphy's DEATH OF AN IRISH DRUID depicts St Brigid's holy well in Kildare, Ireland, in an illustration with two Jack Russell terriers and a rainbow in the background. It's my favorite of the Dublin Driver covers, which is saying something because I love them all!

Release Day: DEATH OF AN IRISH DRUID

Guys, I was so AFK last week that I basically missed my own book release, but the sixth Dublin Driver book is now available! (That should be a magic link that will take you to your retailer of choice. :)) This is book, um. I’ve lost count. Fifty………four? Three? Crap, now I have to go count. Fifty-four! Whoa! :D Anyway, please spread the word, let everybody know, have a good old time! :D Dublin limo driver Megan Malone plans to make the most of her time off—but as she soon…

not dead! busy month, tho

Iiiiiii…have been meaning to post, and just not doing it because I’ve been working, and don’t want to distract myself from work. But! I got an extension on the book so I’m going to take a minute to do a short blog. I went to Eastercon the last weekend of March, and it was WONDERFUL, but I haven’t had enough time to blog about it. Hopefully next week when I’m done with this book, which… I’m ALMOST done with the 6th Dublin Driver book. There I was, 60K into a…

february progress report

Well, I came into February by finishing my last book (WEAR WOLF, available now!) a week early, so I took the next week off from formal book work and wrote a synopsis for something, sent that in to an editor, and did some further work on a different proposal. Halfway through the month, as noted before, I was struck by inspiration in the middle of the night, and now have about a thousand disconnected words on that project, which I am supposed to get 10 pages to 3 chapters written…

Release Day: DEATH BY IRISH WHISKEY

Today is the release day for DEATH BY IRISH WHISKEY! Do you know what’s special about this book? (Go on, guess, I’ll wait.) (No, I won’t, never mind, I’m impatient.) It is my FIFTIETH PUBLISHED NOVEL. FIFTY. PUBLISHED. NOVELS. That’s a lot! A LOT a lot! One of the two items I remember on my bucket list* that I wrote when I was about 17 was “have 50 books published by the time I’m 50.” I admit that in that scenario, I was thinking of book #50 coming out before…

Happy 2024!

Happy New Year, mes amis. I decided to go in to the office today for the precedent of it, although I have no particular expectation of getting anything done besides a blog post or two, which I could have done from home. :) Last year was not awesome for me/us, and I’m not going to dwell on it much, although I was surprised a couple of days ago to realize I’d published three books and two novellas in 2023. Four books if you count URBAN SHAMAN’s re-release: DEATH IN IRISH…
